Light in color with a brown twinge. Quite perfumed. Sweet Pinot fruit. Better than their IDA Buntsandstein at this point in it’s evolution. Orange zest, strawberry, cranberry. Quite tart and kind of oaky. For some reason all the big boys of the 20‘ vintage do not come across as a top vintage for E & M. Good but they just don’t reach the heights of other vintage’s. — 20 days ago

CVed them to Fung and it’s still that steely yet elegantly austere style that grows on you — 2 months ago

Actually the Buntandstein. On day 2 really quite nice, a bit of the more cidery quality recedes. Dangerously drinkable. Great acid and mouthfeel. — 5 months ago

An extraordinary wine of beauty and at the same time wild - a wild beast really. Mostly raspberry notes, crushed marble, tart, cherry. And spice, touch cardamom. Herbs oregano and some thyme. Orange peel. Definitely whole clusters in this one. Needs 1 hour of air. But i would say drink now. A real treat for the E&M freaks. 2016 was across a terrific vintage for them. — 5 months ago

So after sitting for 2 month in my cellar - this is now a 9.5. Tart, touch bitter, dried apricots. Marzipan. Pretty tannic. A skin contact white - what a color! Pinot Grigio. I wonder how this will age? — a year ago

Slighty better wine now (see my old notes) - First flat after 1 hour it shows. Elegant could benefit from a little more fruit. OK but not wow. For some reason her Pinots have not won me over. Certainly not Enderle & Moll level! — a year ago

I was surprised when this turned out to be an orange wine, but not at all disappointed. Beautiful amber color, medium bodied, with a strong nose of ripe, sweet fruit, with good acid, and notes of navel orange, Meyer lemon, sweet cream (though VERY light), with hints of mustard, celery and other subtle vegetal notes. Palate is smooth, with great energy and well integrated creamy motes of ripe orange, blood orange and grapefruit, but not tart, with more prominent vegetable notes, maybe some more anise and celery. At the finish there’s even hints of some smoky BBQ, which ends in a dry, slightly spicy and savory hue. — 16 days ago

2021. Courtesy of @Pinotman /// Andreas. Disturbed, lake bottom brown color. Slightly muddy and tart nose. Medium body. Not my cup of tea but there is an immaculate, front palate flavor moment of perfectly aged red Burg/Pinot Noir of, say, 15-18 years. Everything else is held in check during that time. That safe harbor in the storm is my take away. 4.1.26. — 3 months ago

See my previous notes. Sven always works at the edge. Excellent and classic Pinot - the way it should be made. Looks light in the glass. But this carries a serious punch some whole cluster, some cherry 🍒 - but mostly other berries…cranberry and elderberry. Chalky and tart - excellent tannin management. If you consider yourself a Pinot expert - this should be on your bucket list. (Sourced by Lyle Fass). — a year ago

Glorious nose of blackberry flower, dark black cherries, tiniest hint of VA only adds to the allure. Super focused nose and provocative. Gorgeously high tones. Palate is so rich, energetic and with tons of sweet black fruits. Unreal inner mouth aromas and painfully concentrated with inane tiny berry fruit intensity. Powdery tannins that are ripe and sweet and above all this has class and refinement. Wow. Day 2 the nose comes alive with dark violets and the fruit is a bit redder today. Palate is so supple, sweet and soft but with great energy. Great complexity and wow that acid! Fruit is redder today but dark redder and such awesome tannins. — a year ago

Light in color. Very herbal. Otherwise quite close in the taste profile to the Buntsandstein of the same vintage. There is some cherry here, hint orange zest. Sweet Pinot fruit. Touch bitter. Again like the other E&M big boys. Not fully convinced. — 20 days ago

Upon opening unreadable, tart and harsh. Needs about 2-3 hours to open up. Super earthy. Tons of sediment. Very herbaceous. Black forest thyme. Black cherry. Elderberry galore. A tour de force really. Still a ton of tannins - to much? Give it 5 more years? A wine on the edge - tip of the spear. As some of these high end E & M‘s are. I like their wines but not fully convinced of the 2015‘s. Same as with the 2015 Burghs. The hype might not pan out. 24 hours later - this wine needs potentially 10 more years of age - hard to say - mellowed out - orange zest, port wine characteristics, cranberry - still a little rough but for the E&M fans a treat. — 6 months ago

Same vintage as the Buntsandstein. But totally different. This is more aligned with a middle of the road Burgh vis-a-vis the Enderle & Moll which is a class by itself. Cork wet and all the way through and soft. Wax capsule. Cherry nose. Over all really not that interesting. — a year ago

A perfect Spätburgunder from Baden — the closest a German Pinot Noir has tasted to Burgundy, and an excellent value at ~$40 a bottle.

Classic Pinot noir flavors of cherry, raspberry, and earth. — a year ago
